    Joe Jasinski Ep. 9

    In this episode we sit down with Joe Jasinski, a seminarian in his fourth year of studying to be a priest for the Archdiocese of Boston. As we hear Joe’s story we talk about faith, sports, discernment, and the rewards of ministry. Beginning in Massachusetts, going west to Indiana and then Hawaii before making it back to Massachusetts, we hear about how Joe’s relationship with Christ has sparked the desire to become a priest, to teach the faith, to bring it to life for young people in particular, and to make living out the faith an ordinary part of our lives.

    Fr. Denis Nakkeeran Ep. 8

    Ordained in the midst of the chaotic 2020 pandemic, Fr Denis Nakkeeran talks with us about his experience of priestly ministering during that difficult time. In this episode we talk about how his desire to have his questions about faith and morality answered led him to seek answers. In doing so he not only found answers but also a deep relationship with God. Now, he has a chance to share the fruit of all of this with us, as well as with the seminarians of St John’s Seminary in Brighton, MA where he is a faculty member.
